Greenhouse and nursery operators, plant breeders, and professionals in allied trades can get the latest information on production practices and earn pesticide applicator recertification credits by attending Penn State University’s Greenhouse Growers Day on Jan. 26 at the Lancaster Farm and Home Center in Lancaster, PA.
